Host: Dr. David DeRose, MD, MPH.

Co-Host: Joni Bokovoy, DrPH, MPH. (Cherokee Nation).

Guests: Jacob Bor, SD, Associate Professor, Departments of Global Health and Epidemiology, Boston University School of Public Health; Michael E. Bird, MSW, MPH (Kewa Pueblo), Past President of the American Public Health Association.

Description Dr. Jacob Bor and Michael Bird paint a chilling picture of how Native Americans are dying as early as residents of a third-world country like Bangladesh, rather than having the longevity benefits enjoyed by most of those living in the United States. You will learn how these startling death rates have not been recognized until recently, due to the misclassification of many Native Americans.

The full scientific study featured in the program is: Bor J, Bird M, et al. Life expectancy of American Indian and Alaska Native persons and underreporting of mortality in vital statistics. JAMA. 2025; 334(3):243-252. doi:10.1001/jama.2025.8126.

Host: David DeRose, MD, MPH.

Guest: Sonja DeRose, MD.

Description: Dr. David DeRose interviews his wife, Dr. Sonja DeRose, about her experience going through the 11-day lifestyle program at Wildwood Health Institute. You’ll learn practical pointers about diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and more from Dr. Sonja’s experience. She entered the program intentionally, wanting to understand it from the perspective of an actual participant rather than a clinician. During the interview, she describes what it was like to follow the daily schedule, interact with staff, and engage in the structured lifestyle interventions.

Dr. Sonja explains how the program’s environment, routines, and education helped her see its impact more clearly. She also highlights how the approach can be highly beneficial for people dealing with chronic conditions. These include obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Her insights show how immersive lifestyle change can support measurable improvements in health and well‑being.
